A MUSICAL JOKE

“The goal of all good music is to affect the soul.” - Claudio Monteverdi
 
For Music Saturday today one of the Scherzi Musicali (“musical jokes”) of Claudio Monteverdi (15 May 1567– 29 November 1643). It is his “Damigella Tuttal Bella” or “Fairest Damsel”. It has quite a catchy tune and an infectious rhythm, perfect for Spring!
